FRANZ LOOS, OF CARLSBAD, AUSTRIA-HUNGARY.

DUST-WAGON.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 732,422, dated June 30, 1903. Application filed September 17, 1902. Serial No. 123,799. (No model.)

To on whom it may concern:

Be it kn own that I, FRANZ Loos, a subject of the Emperor of Austria-Hungary, residing at Oarlsbad-Fischern, Austria- Hungary, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Dust-VVagons, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to a dustwagon so constructed that the discharging of a dust-bin into the wagon, as well as the discharging of the refuse from the wagon itself,

can easily be effected without allowing any dust to escape into the air. A dust-wagon of this form is shown in the accompanying drawings', in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation; Fig. 2, a plan view; Fig. 3, a front, and Fig. 4 a rear, elevation. Fig.5 shows a dust-bin suitable for use with the dust-wagon in question, while Figs. 6 and 7 show in side and front view an opening in the wagon for receiving the contents of the dust-bin.

The dust-wagon consists of a box-shaped holder 1), suitably arranged upon the undercarriage a, the floor of this holder 1) being constructed of two portions d d, Figs. 3 and 4-. Each portion is connected by means of arms f to adjustable racks g at the front and rear of the wagon. WVith each of these racks engages a toothed wheel h in the front and rear of the wagon. Both toothed wheels are connected to one another by means of a rotatable shaft passing through the wagon. Vith the toothed wheel h at the forward end of the wagon engages also a worm 2', which can be rotated from the side of the wagon by means of the mandrel is. If this is turned by the hand,the toothed wheels h will be also rotated, so that the racks g will be moved upward or downward, according to the direction of turning of the mandrel It. The movement of the racks Q will cause a corresponding movement of the halves d d of the floor by means of the arms f, and each will come either into the open position, Fig. 3, or into the closed position, Fig. l, so that the contents of the wagon can be discharged through the opened bottom and removed, while when the bottom is closed the refuse remains upon the floor thus made.

For discharging the refuse into the wagon there are provided in the cover Z openings m, each one of which, as shown'in Figs. 6 and 7, carries a movable lid 72. This movable lid 11 slides in the way 0 and has at its forward end a connecting portionfor instance, a roller p-by means of which it is connected to a lever system so that upon actuating this lever system q the lid 01 receives a movement which either opens or closes the opening m. On the upper side of the lid '11. is provided a recess 4", the object of which is to eifect a con nection with the cover of the dust-bin. This dust-bin s has preferably the form shown, in which it is widened at the top. The cover 25 of the dust-bin slides in the way a and is arranged obliquely to the bottom of the dust-bin. 011 the upper side of the covert is a rib o, the cross-section of which corresponds to the recess r, while on the dust-bin itself at one end hooks to are provided. On the opposite side of the dust-bin are projections 00. Corresponding to thehooks u; there are provided upon the discharge-openin gs m lateral pins y,while for engaging with the projections 00 hooks z are employed. These hooks are connected with a lever 19, movable upon a. This lever 19 is influenced by the spring 0, which is secured to the roof Z of the dust-wagon b. The

object of this spring 0' is to bring the hooks z i always into the position of engagement.

If the dust-bin s by means of its hook w is hung upon the pins y and is swung into the position shown in Fig. 6, then the hooks a catch 011 the projections 00, and thus hold the dust-bin s in the position ready for being discharged. If now the lever system q is actuated, the cover n will be withdrawn. Since, however, this cover n is connected by means of the parts 7' to with the lid 25 of the dust-bin, upon withdrawing the cover a the lid t will also be opened, so that the contents of the dust-bin s can fall into the holder 1) of the dust-wagon. If the lever system q is again moved into its original position, the lid and cover n and t will respectively assume their original position, so that both the opening m andalso the dust-bin s are closed and dust cannot escape into the air from the interior of the wagon.

When one desires to remove'the dust-bin s,

all that is necessary is to move the lever 11' upward against the spring 0', so that the hooks z are freed from the projections x, and the dust-bin s can be once more swung back upon the pins 3 I11 order to secure a completely dust-tight covering, it is advisable to arrange strips (1 of felt or similar material along the contiguous portions.

Vhat I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-

1. In a dust and refuse wagon the combination with the covered box or body having an inlet opening provided with a sliding cover, of a movable receptacle having a sliding cover, means whereby said movable receptacle may be held with its cover in juxtaposition to and parallel with the cover of the box, means for withdrawing the cover of the box, and means whereby the movement of the box-cover also removes the cover of the movable receptaclc, substantially as described.

2. In combination, the body having a 110pper, a sliding cover for said hopper, an operating-lever for moving said cover, a movable receptacle having a sliding cover, hooks on one side of said receptacle for engaging projections on the hopper, means for engaging the opposite side of the movable receptacle and holding it in contact with the mouth of the hopper, and means whereby the coverof the receptacle is withdrawn simultaneously with the withdrawal of the cover of the hopper, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two witnesses.
